Take wheat flour, sesame seeds, powdered spices, salt and spinach puree in a bowl. Knead it to smooth and soft dough. Keep it aside covered.
For stuffing
Sauté the onion till translucent. Add the grated paneer and season it with salt and chat masala.
To make paratha
Knead the dough once again and divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a small chapati.
Put 1 portion stuffing in the center of the chapati. Gather the edges. Pinch it to seal and again flatten it out.
Place the rolled paratha on hot tava. Cook on both sides using little oil till they have golden spots on both sides.
Take it off heat and repeat the entire process with the other portion.
Serve hot with vegetable raita.
